Justin Mccarthy.

Hon. Justin Mccarthy, NJ. p, who is to
lecture at the Congregational Church on
next Tuesday evening, is probably the most
distinguished, as he certainly is the most
universally popular, Of literary Irlshmen.
As a novelist he occupies high position;
as practical journalist and a historian Of
modern times his place is in the very first
rank. When, about ten years ago, he
joined the Iiish party In the house OF com
mons Mr.. w. II. Lucy, his colleague on the
London Daily Neips, aud, at that time,
distinctly antLIrish writer, declared with
unfeigned regret that Mr.. McCartby's az
ccssion to the home rule party was the
greatest gain that party had yet acquired,
"as Mr. Mccarthy is tower OF strength to
any cautc which he espousesn There is no
man living who can make clearer state
ment on any subject which he pretends to
understand, and there is no topic OF public
interest to which Mr.. Mccarthy has not
given profound attention.
United Ireland, Mr.. Parnell's organ, In
an editorial paragraph, thus refers to the
gentleman whose lecture upon ''the Re.
lations Between England and Ireland" is
to be heard next week "Mr. Justin Nc
Carthy, the vice chairman Of the Irish par
liamentary party, was entertained at dinner
in London on Wednesday evening by his
leader and colleagues, on the eve OF his de-.
parture on lecturing tour in the United
States. Never was the love OF comrades
more honestly earned. II there was secret
plebiscite taken among the members OF the
Irish parliamentary party for the palm of
popularity, Justin Mccarthy is unquestion-
ably the man who would unite the suf-
frages OF most. His irresistible charm OF
manner; the gay and witty bonhomle
which makes him In society the most de-
lightful Of men his transparent unselfish-
ness the cheerfulness with which he
has made without a word or sign
sacrifices at which -ether men would
.-repine for a lifetime; his superb
fidelity in hours OF danger; his grand
and simple fearlessness; the eloquence which
at times holds the house of commons
spell-bound with admiration and amaze,
ment--all combine to endear Justin Nc
Carthy to every man Of his party, from the
leader TO the rawest ensign. His comrades
and countrymen will follow his footsteps
in the great republic with affectionate in
terest, and 1t is perfectly certain that no
cultivated section Of the American people
least Of all Of our own kin--will be mig
gardly in their appreciation of one Of the
most brilliant Of Irishmen and most charm
ing of lecturers"
But as Mr.. Mccarthy is as well known in
America as in London, it is only necessary
in conclusion TO state that all who want to
hear the clearest exposition Of British pol
itcs in special relation to the Irish question
will find 1t in the lecture next Tuesday
evening.

THE letter of resignation of Daniel Man
ming as Secretary of the Treasury is worthy
OF most careful study. Much is said in
little space. Politically, 1t speaks volume
in these words "Returning to the ranks
of that great party which has called you to
it's lead, I shall still hope to follow Its for
tunes under your successful guidance With
fellow.citizeh's loyal pride"
Its reference to the exacting duties OF ths
great Office, especially at time when its
responsibilities are changed by the will of
the people from one political party to an
other, are sensible and true.
Daniel Manning, in twelve months, by
his great abilities aud tireless industry, be-
came master Of the situation, but his health
failed him, and now he asks his chief to
relieve him from further responsibility.
The President responds in manner and
language exhibiting the strongest personal
attachment and profound appreciation OF
the loss OF the distinguished services OF one
of the ablest financial ministers in the his
tory Of the government.

The constitutional right to originate rev.
